Sr, a citizen of the United States residina In t e drawings: Figure l, is an end eleat ast Orange, in the county of Essex and vation of a button ring constructed in ac- State of New Jersey, have invented certain cordance with the invention Fig 2 is a new and useful Improvements in Button Rings, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact specication.

y invention relates to button rings, by which I mean rings made of coils of wire which are designed to be passed through a plan view thereof.

he ring l may be formed of steel or brass wire or othermetal possessing the requisite resiliency. As illustrated it consists of wire bent opposite ways into a coil. The requisite ends overlap to such an extent that they nearly form two complete coils. The wire has a shoulder at 2, adjacent the end 3, of

and has for its object to facilitate the inone coil, whereby a Hush Surface is presented. troduction of the ring. The other end of the wire is bent outward To this end my invention consists of an from the coil as at 5, and then backward improved construction of Such ring whereby without the use of tools, the ring may easily receive the shank of the button or other upon itselil as at 6. The wire, however, is not deiiected from the plane of its coil.

These rings cents ($2.50) per thousand, fact that such insertion is An awl or other tool must be by reason of the very slow.

I overcome this diiiculty and provide a ring which may be quickly and easily slipped on the button shank by reason of the fact that it has an end projected out of the line of the coil and preferably in- CLARK S. COMSTOCK, SR.
